When Walking With A Woman On The Sidewalk...Men Should Walk On The Outside

[SnowflakesByTheOZ]

To protect her from any danger. it's some old school, courting, gentleman shyt.

I'm not putting my life on the line for some random chick on the street. ​

Aka simping.

Been doing this since I was 17

That's the old school rules. Y'all gave that up in favor of feminism, as far as I'm concerned. The fukk I look like putting my health and safety below a woman's... Nope. I'll get ran over by a car and that bytch will have a new bf next motherfukking week. Nope not me

Equality means women putting their safety at risk for men for once. But we all know that's bs

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

I do it...

Some programming sticks.

Yes I’ve heard of it, my dad taught me that and even my oldest brother does it when we hang out. The thinking was around the following: if a car splashes a puddle, you shield her, if a car jumps the curb, you shield her, if some shyt is going down - fight shooting etc - you can shield her against a building or push her into the door of one.


I’m not super stringent about making men do this, but the ones who have done it with me, especially when I know they do it purposely, get props. I know they had some old school men/teachings/chilvary in their lives. No offense, but it definitely is something I saw as a difference between dudes who grew up with a father and those who didn’t.

Honestly, it's just plain old consideration/selflessness. You don't need a father for that.

Something tells me ain’t no women walking with you too often in the first place. Shut up

 

[paperbag]

Yeah my father is almost obsessive about this, so I would expect it from any man.

I definitely notice stuff like this, same with if he keeps pace with me while walking, etc. but this is correct for me. To be fair, I stand on the outside with children and elder/slower moving adults I’m with.

I only heard of this rule a few years ago on the internet and it never made any sense to me. Cars and puddles aren't the only dangers out there.

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

I WAS TAUGHT THIS ALSO. YOU WALK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK. IF SOMEONE APPROACHES YOU THEY WILL BE ON THE LEFT. IF THEY ATTACK YOU CAN OFFER YOUR FREE OFFHAND FOR DEFENSE. YOUR LADY WILL LIKELY BE ON YOUR RIGHT ARM. THAT'S WHY I KEEP MY KNIFE/PISTOL ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I DO THE SAME WHEN I WALK WITH MY MOM.

MY GRANDPARENTS WERE VERY OLD SCHOOL. I MODIFIED THE PLAN A BIT THOUGH. MY MOM AND SISTER BOTH HAVE CPL'S NOW AND BOTH CARRY A KNIFE ALSO. TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

Not some random chick. But you should if she's your woman

 

[Blankthawtz]

Calm down nikka.

lovin the different posts on the point of origin of this practice also....

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

shorty told me...women should be on the inside closer to the buildings...men on the outside closer to the street....


where did this "rule" come from?.....ever heard of it?...

My wife does this shyt. She throw a fit if she facing the street and I'm on the inside.

 

[Wardo]

My girl back in the day stressed that to me once. Little while latter we walking down the street me on the outside closer to the street. She got hit by someone backing out a driveway..
